A few nods to French streamers slipped into r/Place, on the tricolor flag. Others may appear during the Pixel War.
The first day of r/Place has passed and France has granted itself a very large area of the game from the start of hostilities in this new Pixel War. An enviable place, which allows him to draw visuals in pixel art on top: we have thus seen several renowned French women, but also some references to French culture and geography.
Lately, streamers have been in the spotlight on r/Place. The most massive drawing is the one showing Kamel Kebir, better known under the pseudonym of Kameto. His presence on the flag is no coincidence: it is a tribute to the one who played a crucial role during the previous Pixel War. The “spring, summer, autumn, winter” strategy has remained famous.
During the 2022 Pixel War, Kameto, who is a streamer and incidentally the boss of the Kamine Corp esports team, earned the nickname “General Kameto”, precisely for the leadership he exercised over many Internet users. This explains why his portrait is embellished with numerous medals attached to the bust.
Another reference to streamers, perhaps easier to guess from the text: the GP Explorer. It’s a car race (Formula 4) that Lucas Hauchard, alias Squeezie, organized in 2022 with influencers and influencers. A new edition, the GP Explorer 2, is scheduled for September with Gotaga, Billy, Amixem, Mister V, Maghla, Bathera Jones, Horty, etc.
Below, we can see two cars facing each other. The one on the right is the BWT Alpine F1 Team model, which the Alpine team enters in F1. But it is above all the one on the left that should be noted: it is the 1,300 horsepower Multipla built under the aegis of the Vilebrequin channel, hosted by streamers Sylvain and Pierre. The functional vehicle was the focus of a community event in June.
The other wink that we could note is the croissant. Of course, this viennoiserie is characteristic of the image of France. It is however also the logo of the project Decentralized memes, an account on Twitter and Instagram that broadcasts memes around the regions of France. There is an associated Twitch channel, which precisely broadcasts the Pixel War.
